1. Introduction

The unit offers excellent thermal stability and homogeneity thanks to continuous forced ventilation and electronic
temperature control.
The cooled incubator is designed to run at a constant temperature of 20 °C.
The internal temperature is measured by the internal probe and it is shown on the display.
The unit is equipped with two internal sockets, controlled by a switch on the frontal panel, to power instruments placed
inside the incubator.
In accordance with current regulations, VELP incubators are CFC-free (free from chloro fluoro carbons).

NOTE: do not install the equipment near sources of heat (ovens, etc.). The unit should be installed in a well-ventilated area,
avoid niches or small rooms. To ensure good air circulation within the unit, do not place objects against the inside back
